Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed in a shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, say authorities.
Police said they found McNair and a woman shot to death in a Nashville residence after receiving a phone call about an injured person.
The woman has been tentatively identified, but her name is not being released, authorities said. A law enforcement source close to the investigation said the woman is McNair’s girlfriend and that the residence is her condominium in downtown Nashville.
Witnesses said he was a frequent visitor there…
McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans, before announcing his retirement in April 2008. He spent his last two seasons with Baltimore Ravens and he was the NFL’s co-MVP in 2003.
Shocking stuff. No details at all – yet.
The woman was DUI Thursday night, in an “Escalade” (of course), registered to both McNair and HER. I guess he didn’t spend a whole bunch of time with his old lady. Oops. Murder/Suicide. Pop goes the weasel.
LAW ABIDING citizens murder people?
The error here is pretty obvious
J/P=?
#15 Perhaps you did not understand the point I was making. You started the post asking did OJ use a gun to murder two people. Then you threw in the other crap about bicycles, swimming pools, electricity, cars, and gas appliances killing people. Yes, these things may kill you accidentally but their use as a means of murder are a tiny fraction of the number of murders committed using a handgun.
What is it with liberals that it’s always the gun’s fault?
Could it be what killed McNair is that he decided to run around on his wife? I’m sure he would still be walking around if he had been home watching Sports Center or even Scooby Doo – with his wife.
#24 Where did a liberal, or anyone, say it was the gun’s fault?
-not to worry, given the current trend, i’d bet a dollar that there will be at least 5 more celebrity types to die before summers end for you all to pick at.
-his death is irrelevant. a distraction. get over it find something that might actually effect your existence to ponder.
lord knows there is plenty
to choose from.

Ahhh, the predictable gun debate. McNair had a handgun permit. There are pretty good odds that this was just a fight that turned into a murder / suicide because there was a gun handy.
Here’s the thing. Guns turn disagreements and fights into murders. They cost people their lives. Guns also save lives and property. From the perspective of someone who lives in New Orleans, I have no doubt that there are more lives lost than saved.
Either Alphie has a twin or is now posting under a new name.
And yes, I am also very interested in how many people have been killed with bicycles, gas stoves, knives, and what have you, compared to guns.
I would also like to know the number of people killed compared to the number of people saved by handguns.
The last time I looked, there were a few hundred self defense killings compared to 16,000 or something murdered by guns. No, I don’t plan on scouring the CDC or FBI sites to find those numbers again.
The Gun debate will Never End… In the UK it is almost impossible to be the owner of a Gun these days after what happened in Scotland 10 or more years ago, they took ‘em away!!! That would not be such a bad thing in America either. I used to own several hand guns, several Rifles and a few shotsguns..was raised on a farm and I admit, sure it feels good in your hand amaybe a bit manly to hold and fire a gun…but after re-evaluating what matters to me and after having children I have decided to be rid of all the guns and I have done so.. I do believe the Framers of the US Constitutuion and Bill of Rights would be turining in their grave today, if they were able to see what our country has turned into… we peaked in 1953 (or about) and have been going down hill ever since.. just look we are the 114th hapiest nation on earth… WAKE UP SHEEPLE!! No one even wants ro immigrate to the US any more… Its all canada and Austrailia or Europe!!!
